FenCon Returns to Winnipeg

Fenestration Manitoba will present FenCon18 February 28-March 2 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Last year’s first-ever FenCon drew about 150 people, and event chair Al Dueck of Duxton Windows and Doors says this year’s gathering could be bigger.

“Last year, we had a very solid turnout from literally coast to coast in Canada plus a mix of U.S. attendees, sponsors and presenters,” he said. “The feedback of ‘satisfaction’ from both attendees and sponsors was 90 percent good or very good, and 90 percent said they plan to come back.”

The event, which is organized by Fenestration Manitoba, will feature two days of educational sessions covering topics such as automation, energy efficiency, the recently updated North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS), coatings, social media and more. There will also be tabletop exhibitors and social events.

“We are very pleased to note that the pre-registration to the event has even exceeded the kick-off level for 2017,” says Nancy Zubriski, executive director of Fenestration Manitoba. “We highlighted FenCon18 at WinDoor and found a real sound interest as there is now a much broader awareness of this manufacturing-focused conference.”
